Yet another FAA investigation
The Federal Aviation Administration declared the recent mission a “mishap,” citing the loss of both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage, and opened a new investigation as a result. “No public injuries or public property damage have been reported,” the regulator said in a statement, adding that it’s “overseeing the SpaceX-led mishap investigation to ensure the company complies with its FAA-approved mishap investigation plan and other regulatory requirements.” The investigation could result in further delays, but SpaceX does need to clean things up and implement fixes regardless.
